If you don’t have enough time to explore Singapore, I strongly recommend Sentosa Island as your target destination. This place offers everything—from attractions and beaches to local restaurants and shopping boutiques. My top must-visit attractions here include the Carlsberg Sky Tower and the...

Anybody who’s visiting Singapore is bound to make a trip to Sentosa. It’s an island resort reachable from the mainland by cable car. Besides a long swimming beach, a couple of golf courses and 5-star hotels, Sentosa also has a lot of amusement like the Underwater World and Dolphin lagoon, the...

On our last day, just before heading for the airport, we finally went for a swim at the beach. We did not choose Siloso Beach for any reason other than its proximity to the Underwater World, which was our previous stop. The water was warm and very calm, but not particularly clear. You could see...

At the Underwater World, I was very impressed by the hands-on opportunities. Visitors could touch starfish and even stingrays (you were meant to feed the stingrays, but there is nothing to stop you from touching them). Stingrays attack if they feel threatened and in other oceanariums they would...

We watched a show featuring some monkeys and it was moderately interesting. The best bit was towards the end when the monkeys seemed to run away in their own directions (but I am pretty sure this was staged).
If you want to get really close to the animals, then hang around the...

You can arrive to Sentosa by cable car, if you are coming from mainland Singapore. We took the cable car from Sentosa to Mt Faber and back just to enjoy the views. We did not get off at Mt Faber, as we were running out of time (our flight is on the same afternoon). There was a lot of construction...

There is a small food court at Palawan Beach which is a great place to relax with good food at a reasonable price. We had dinner there nearly every day. There was a water play area for the kids, which would entertain our baby and give us a bit of a break.
There is a suspension...

I thought the museum was the largest part of this attraction. I was more interested in looking at vibrant colourful live butterflies and I was disappointed. The park itself was very small and I did not see too many varieties of butterflies. Maybe, I was there in the wrong season (October), or...

I am not a supporter of training dolphins to perform tricks for fun, but my partner really wanted to see the dolphin show, so I went along. The show itself was not anything special, we saw the same tricks you would see in any dolphin show. I was curious about the colour of the dolphins – I had...

The Merlion is a mythical see creature, half-lion, half-fish, one of the symbols of Singapore. There is a 37 m tall statue of the Merlion on Sentosa Island. I only saw it at night and it was absolutely beautiful. It was all lit up and changing colours. There is a mosaic walk behind the Merlion...

With the main reason for me coming to Sentosa (the Musical Fountain) gone, I was determined to make the most of my time on the island anyway. So I went to see the next best thing, the Songs of the Sea show. The show included fireworks, water effects, lasers, bursts of fire and computer imaging....

When I was in Singapore for the first time, I picked up a brochure on my departure with a map of Sentosa. There was a musical fountain in the middle of the island and I am fascinated by musical fountains, so I decided I would be coming back and staying on Sentosa.
So I did. To my...
